THE DETONATORS The Secret Plot to Destroy America and an Epic Hunt for Justice

The man-made explosions at Black Tom Island in New York Harbor lasted a few minutes, but the messy international repercussions lasted more than 20 years. Lloyd James reads a true account from WW I, in which German agents destroy an American ammunition dump. Legal battles between the U.S. and Germany inspire a fascinating story of the men involved and the quest for repayment. James has a taciturn voice, and he punctuates the quotes with pleasant pauses. His leisure produces an engaging story for those who enjoy history. J.A.H. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 07]
